We have the strangest weather going on here in Kansas... or rather, it's strange to me because I'm used to Cali weather. All day it was around 70 degrees with a ton of wind, and then a crazy thunderstorm hit the town as night fell. The clouds radiated in a soft pink and purplish light (like nothing I've seen on the west coast) and then burst periodically into white plumes of light as lightning tore through the sky. It was so close to our house, I almost thought we'd be toast. It was like the gods were shaking their fists of fury at us all at once, it was a frantic display of flashing light and angry bellowing. I do love me some thunderstorms!! I never saw shit like that in Cali. Such a striking and dramatic sight, I can't wait for more.
In other good news: I'm pretty sure that I got the job that I wanted working as a Case Manager for Four County Mental Health Center. My interviewer has been checking my references, I filled out pre-employment paperwork, and the only thing left is to complete my drug screening test... which I hope isn't a problem. Considering that I smoke weed on a regular basis, I took some Goldenseal and drank tons of water all day today. Goldenseal is a natural root packaged into little capsules that's supposed to "cleanse" my system of any traces of pot, or so my boyfriend claims. He took it once when he had to drug test for his job and it worked for him, so I'm crossing my fingers that it'll work for me too. It would REALLY SUCK if I'm denied the job because I don't pass the drug test. It's so lame that weed is even considered a problem - I personally never let it get in the way of what I need to get done. Let's just hope it works out and I finally land a "grown-up" job complete with a salary and full benefits!! I'm so excited!
